Remarks
Example
This example creates two Appearance objects and a Cell object. Several properties are set for the first Appearance object, and they are subsequently merged into the second instance. The properties are then applied from the second Appearance object to the Cell objects corresponding properties. The BackColor property of the Appearance object is then queried to see if it has been defined, and the result is returned to a text box.
